After launching Camtasia for Mac, you start recording by pressing a keyboard shortcut, which you press again to stop recording. Capturing video and audioĪs an end-to-end solution, Camtasia lets you capture and edit both audio and video from your Mac and connected audio/video devices. That doesn’t necessarily make the Mac version a bad program, but it does mean you can do more with the Windows version. While there are a few things the Mac program can do that the Windows version cannot (capture DV camera, upload to iTunes or YouTube), there are many more features available in the Windows product that are not currently in the Mac release. Techsmith hasĪ comparison table on its site, highlighting the differences between the two programs.

However, on the features front, Mac users aren’t getting all the bells and whistles of the Windows version. From a user interface standpoint, that’s a good thing, as the program feels completely Mac like, and not at all like a poor Windows port. Those who have had experience with Camtasia Studio for Windows will probably be disappointed by this first version of Camtasia for the Mac-the Mac product is not a clone of the current Studio product.
